GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have had a great high school experience. I got to play baseball , but I do have to say that this year is probably the worst year of high school. The worst mostly anyone could have, because of what is going on. I only hope that it will get straighten out itself by graduation. And Prom, and pictures ring and all of the other milestones that seniors have. And I was going to be captain of our baseball team this year. I am still doing my work, but it is not the same as going into class and doing the work there, plus I actually liked going to school. Now I can only hope that I am ready for college, so I can keep up with the work and studies as well. Hopefully everything will get back to normal so we can enjoy our last year here at steel Valley.

The small schools have given my kids opportunities they wouldn't have gotten in larger districts. Generally happy with the system.

The teachers were always helpful and took interest into the ones who were willing to learn. They would always help until everything was clear to me. A change I would like to see is the staff and faculty caring more about the student's education more than the dress code.

My child has had no issues while going to SV. He is in sports and remains in the honor roll while taking many advanced classes. We have had no safety issues or issues of bullying. I’m only speaking from our experience and we have nothing bad to say.

Teachers and staff are terrific! My child was able to take college credit courses and I felt he was well prepared for his future. The school has gone through a few changes in adminstration over the last few years. The new Superintendent has vision and the school is making great strides.

Responding to a post in 2008, nothing has changed except an increase in violence. They still only care about the athletics program and not actual education. It is a school in a sad state of disarray. Why anyone would choose this school district is beyond me.

People, have their own opinions about steel valley high school. some say its a dirty school. its really not. You can not say that the students here don't get education because of the teachers. It's obviously because of her own inability to understand. This school is honestly, a great school. Some th...
